When President Joe Biden issued regulations that he and his side of the political aisle hoped would eventually lead to electric vehicles replacing automobiles that burn gasoline and diesel fuel, it was regarded as a glorious moment.
The New York Times reported over the weekend that the "administration intends to relax elements of one of its most ambitious strategies to combat climate change, limits on tailpipe emissions that are designed to get Americans to switch from gas-powered cars to electric vehicles.
While there is plenty of conjecture and speculation, there is no science that says replacing fossil-fuel powered vehicles with EVs will have a salutary effect on the climate.
The EV manufacturing chain is one long line of carbon-dioxide emissions.
EV mandates, including those in California and in a few copycat states, are straight up abuses of power.
As we have asked before, where do government officials, both elected and unelected, derive the authority to tell Americans what vehicles they cannot own and what vehicles they must own? And as we have answered before, there is none.
At the same time, there is no Democrat, activist, mainstream media reporter, editor or talking head who will admit that a growing EV regime will: cause power shortages and send rising future electricity prices even higher; financially overload the poor and middle classes; and accelerate street and highway damage.
